Administrator Vote on Hold -- Again By Dave Dunwoody • Apr 4, 2014 Escambia County The Escambia County Commission Thursday once again pushed back a vote on the hiring of a new county administrator.

Valentino E-Mails Under Investigation By Dave Dunwoody • Apr 3, 2014 myesacambia.com Escambia County Commissioner Gene Valentino may have violated Florida's public records law, with personal emails sent to an advisor to the reality TV show "Party Down South."

Beforehand, Chairman Lumon May once again criticized the selection process conducted by the Dallas-based head-hunting firm Waters Consulting. New Escambia Administrator Could Be Named Friday By Dave Dunwoody • Mar 13, 2014 Escambia County Whoever is the choice for the Escambia County Administrator position will have to wait a bit longer before finding out.

Lead consultant Andrea Sims told the Commission at its Committee of the Whole Meeting Thursday that the list is made up of the five, plus one alternate. 2013 In Review: Gun Violence Increases In Escambia County By Dave Dunwoody • Jan 2, 2014 Adam Gerard Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan and other law enforcement and elected officials gathered in late September, to ask the community to come forward and help them end gun violence in the county. This was not the Sheriff's first such appeal to the community; there had been many over the past few years. The catalyst for this latest were three shootings in September that left one man wounded and two people dead – 31-year-old Houston Parker and 14-year-old Kenteyonna Anderson. Investigators say Anderson was shot in the crossfire while trying to leave the area. 2013 In Review: Escambia County Jail By Dave Dunwoody • Dec 23, 2013 Province of British Columbia A five-year federal investigation of the Escambia County Jail was released in May, painting a bleak picture of the facility. Exactly who would run the jail on September 1st – the original deadline -- was front and center at a Commission agenda review meeting in June.

Police are looking for three suspects in the burglary of Lindsay Lohan's home.
The Los Angeles Police Department has released surveillance camera footage of the Sunday break-in at the "Mean Girls" star's house. The footage shows three people, whose faces are covered with scarves, walking through a gate at Lohan's Hollywood Hills home and entering a courtyard at around 1:10 a.m.
LAPD detectives believe the suspects - one male and two females, all 18 to 25 years old - entered the house through an unlocked door, then ransacked it and took property.
Lohan's spokeswoman, Leslie Sloane-Zelnik, said the break-in happened Sunday while the actress and her younger sister were away. Sloane-Zelnik said many of Lohan's "personal belongings were taken without remorse."
Lohan posted on Twitter she didn't think it was a robbery because "things that a certain old friend knew meant a lot to me" were taken.

When it comes to productivity on the go, Android has come a long way. You have plenty of options to stay productive on your phone or tablet, and while the best will cost you money, if you prefer, you can get respectable features for free. We think MobiSystems' OfficeSuite 8 is the best overall option for Android, but…
Windows/Mac/Linux: LibreOffice, has always been powerful enough to stand up against Microsoft Office, but it's also been a bit ugly and clunky to use. Today, they rolled out an update the overhauls the UI and makes it a lot more useable.
Google Drive, and the apps in it—Docs, Sheets, and Slides—are great for people looking for a simple Office suite. It's free, makes collaboration easy, and pretty much anyone can use it. But if you're used to something more traditional, like Microsoft Office, you may be hesitant to use it. Here's how to make Google…
For a long time, Microsoft Office has been the reigning champ of office suites, but that doesn't mean the free alternative, LibreOffice, isn't worth considering. Let's take a look at how the two compare, and if it's finally possible to ditch the paid option for the free one.
Windows: Microsoft offers free 30-day trials of Office 365 and Office 2013. After your free month is over, you won't be able to use some major features of these office suites. One little-known secret, however, is you can actually extend your trial five times, for total of 180 days of use.
Windows/Mac/Linux: Free and open source office suite LibreOffice got a major update today. LibreOffice 4.0 can attach comments to selected text in documents, import Visio and Microsoft Publisher files, get Firefox Persona themes, and much more.
Android: Amazon has fifteen Android apps, normally priced between $0.99 and $14.99, for free. Among the games, utilities, and productivity apps are TuneIn Radio (one of our favorite internet radio apps), OfficeSuite Professional, and Splashtop Remote Desktop.
The iPhone offers a number of office suites, bundling word processing, presentations, and spreadsheets all into one app, and none of them are really perfect because this type of work is never really optimal on a touchscreen phone. But when you need to get things done on the go, we like QuickOffice Pro for its many…

We like the idea that as more products are released, Apple has the sense to lower the old shuffle's price, rather than charge more for the new one. Maybe they will do the same with their next iPhone.

Religion, Literature, and Visual Culture studies the interactions of the religions with cultural forms and practices, with particular reference to art. It pursues this study utilizing the tools of poetics, aesthetics, and theories of interpretation to understand both the ways that the religions harness the human imagination, and the ways that the human recourse to imaginative expression often – some would say always – engages religion.
Philip V. Bohlman, Jas' Elsner, Sarah Hammerschlag, Karin Krause, Richard A. Rosengarten, Christopher J. Wild
Although this phenomenon is arguably concurrent with all of human history, the academic enterprise of Religion, Literature, and Visual Culture is by comparison young. It took its initial explicit form in response to the conviction, articulated most forcefully by Paul Tillich in the mid-twentieth century, that in order to understand religion we must engage our "cultural condition." In its relatively short life the field has witnessed the more widely recognized shifts in the study of religion that had their advent just as Tillich's own remarkable career was concluding, and the field has since aimed toward more self-conscious engagements with comparison (both within a culture and across cultures) and with history. We recognize the texts and artifacts we study to be both more knowingly pluralistic, and often more intentionally eclectic, than had been assumed. We aim to address the pressure this exerts on conventional rubrics of cultural study such as nation, language, "high art" and – not incidentally –the self-proclaimed provenances of the religions. As a consequence a comparative frame of reference, both within a culture and across cultures, has become essential. This broader compass of cultural practice has also led to a revision of the area's interests in the history of interpretive theory, to engage not only literary criticism but hermeneutics, biblical interpretation, and aesthetics. The area seeks to be interdisciplinary in its work, so that students pursue sustained work in other areas of study in the Divinity School and in other departments and committees of the University as informed and directed by the area's emphasis on the acquisition the skills of close, sustained interpretive analysis and broad engagement with issues in the theory of interpretation.
Progress Conference format
The progress (or pre-exam) conference is normally held in the spring quarter of the second year, or the fall of the third year. In Religion, Literature, and Visual Culture, the progress conference is held with the student's panel of examiners for the qualifying examinations, and will normally include assessment of coursework to date, cogency of the course of study petition, readiness for qualifying examinations, and development of the dissertation project. A report from the advisor and a timeline for the qualifying examinations is submitted to the Dean of Students following the conference.

I went around to local businesses while organizing for Small Business Saturday. In every store, I found something I didn't realize that they carried. Every single store. I'm not making that up!
I knew my favorite women's shop had kid's clothes, too, but I didn't know about the new line of watches or the plush stuffed animals for kids. The sewing center has adult coloring books. The Radio Shack (yes, we still have one) has barbecue spices and KitchenAid mixers. The kitchen shop has kids' books and scientific toys. Who knew?
The T-shirt shop has added leggings and hats and gloves. The refunked furniture (painted and refurbished in a fun style) store has kitchen collectibles, the kind of old glass stuff you can still use. The shoe store has Under Armor hoodies that made my 22 year old nephew excited to shop local. The furniture and decor place has sunglasses and runners' belts and clothes. The cosmetics place has the artistic silver jewelry her husband makes but also has soaps and candles and gifts.
My point is this: retail stores in small towns are branching out.
And it's not just my town. As I visit other towns, I'm seeing the same trend. Rural stores are carrying a more diverse selection of merchandise. It's long been true that rural stores tend to be more generalists than specialists because we have a smaller customer base to draw from. Now we're seeing a subtle shift to diversifying into entirely new areas.

Intervention development research is an essential prerequisite of any study that attempts to determine whether specific interventions work to prevent work related injury and illness.
Focus groups (n=5) and direct observational studies (n=21) of printers were used to elicit key issues that would aid the development of subsequent interventions. Transcripts from these were analysed by standard qualitative methods to identify common and related themes.
The views of managers differed significantly from those of print workers in a number of areas, and working practices did not always follow policy. The majority of printers did not perceive dermatitis to be a major problem, although many complained of dry hands. Other key results included: the lack of skin care policy in most companies; poor understanding of the nature, causes, and treatment of dermatitis; low priority of dermatitis within health and safety concerns; little or no provision of occupational health services, particularly skin checks; variability in provision of and access to appropriate skin protection; and lack of accessible washing facilities.
As a result it was decided to evaluate the implementation of four interventions: provision of (1) skin checks and treatment advice; (2) gloves of the correct type and size, and use of an after‐work cream; (3) information on dermatitis within the printing industry; and (4) development of best practice skin care policy.
The use of randomised controlled intervention trials to evaluate the effectiveness of drug therapy and other clinical procedures has been established in healthcare research for over 50 years. The necessity for similar studies has been increasingly recognised in the field of occupational health in the past two decades.1 A review of occupational health and safety intervention studies published between 1988 and 19932 found that many of the studies had limitations in their design and implementation including no clear theoretical basis, inadequate sample sizes, uncontrolled sources of bias, and too short follow up time. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has been active both in developing a theoretical framework for occupational intervention research and in providing practical guidance.3,4 Three essential phases within intervention research are defined, namely development research, implementation research, and effectiveness research.3 Intervention development research is a necessary prerequisite to ensuring the success of the other phases and aims to systematically collate and analyse information on the current state of knowledge about the issue of concern, establish what changes are required and why, define the theoretical basis for the choice of intervention methods to implement, and develop partnerships with the target population.
This paper describes an intervention development study in the UK printing industry. The aim was to identify through qualitative research, a range of low cost, practicable, and acceptable interventions to reduce occupationally caused dermatitis with a view to informing the testing of such interventions in a subsequent intervention implementation research phase.
Occupational skin disease is a widespread problem in industrialised countries, and in the UK it accounts for about 20% of all cases of occupational illness.5 The UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) estimated in 2001/2002 that about 39000 people in Great Britain were suffering from a skin disease caused by their work,6 and there are an estimated 4300 new cases diagnosed each year, of which approximately 80% were contact dermatitis.7 The economic impact is considerable and in the UK it has been estimated that there are about 237000 days lost each year due to occupational skin disease, with an average of 8 days lost per case.6 Despite published figures indicating the magnitude of the problem, occupational skin disease is still likely to be under‐reported, as was recently highlighted in a study of the printing industry.8
Printers have been reported to have a high incidence, of around 75 cases of dermatitis per 10000 workers, with solvents, soaps, petroleum products, acrylates, aldehydes, and wet work suggested as the main causative agents.9 In a survey of 1495 members of the Graphical, Paper and Media Union in the printing industry in Nottinghamshire, UK,8 the prevalence of contact dermatitis was shown to be about 11%. In this study, the most commonly affected parts of the body were the hands, especially the fingers and finger webs, and forearms. The study found that 41% of respondents had suffered a skin complaint at some time. Prevalence was highest in workers involved in printing processes, although over 90% of them wore personal protective equipment such as gloves. Workers on other processes were also affected. A large proportion of those suffering also reported that work related substances appeared to aggravate a skin condition. A sample of those surveyed with self‐reported current dermatitis and a sample of those who reported never having suffered a skin complaint were examined at skin clinics by a consultant dermatologist. All those self‐reporting a current skin problem were confirmed clinically and 58% were thought to be occupationally related. In addition, 28% of those who reported they had never suffered a skin problem were diagnosed with occupational dermatitis that was probably associated with occupation.
Two methods were used to elicit key issues that would inform a subsequent intervention study: focus groups and direct observational studies.
Five focus groups (two consisting of company managers; two of print workers; and one of health and safety officers) were arranged with the assistance of the British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF), the Graphical, Paper and Media Union (GPMU), and the Nottingham Print and Media Group. Each focus group consisted of 5–9 individuals, a facilitator, and a recorder. The facilitator acted to prompt and encourage discussion among the participants, and to ensure that opinions on and the attitudes towards relevant issues were obtained. The list of issues was developed after consultation with members of the study's steering committee, which consisted of individuals from the HSE, BPIF, GPMU, and British Skin Foundation, and included:
The recorder was present to take notes of the discussion and ensure that all issues were addressed. Each focus group discussion was tape recorded and later transcribed.
Visits to print companies were made by a member of the research team (TB) to supplement the information collected through the focus groups using the same list of issues above. Forty one companies in Leeds, Bradford, and Leicester (areas with large numbers of printing companies) were identified through a number of sources including the HSE, BPIF, British Telecom Yellow Pages, and internet search engines. Of these, 12 refused to take part and there was no reply from eight. Visits were made to 21 companies, which varied in size and the type of printing they undertook (table 11).
At each company, the aims and objectives of the study were explained to the company manager who then accompanied the research team member around the workplace to establish the range of processes used and tasks carried out. The researcher was then allowed to walk freely around the workplace and talk to the printers. In some larger companies, TB was accompanied because of safety aspects and areas of restricted access. The aim of these visits was to shadow workers in all areas (pre‐press, printing, and finishing) during a typical work‐shift to observe and record current work practices, both overt and covert. During the visits workers were asked about their beliefs about dermatitis, and its possible causes, working practices, company health and safety, and provision of personal protective equipment. Information was also collected on the range of substances (including chemicals) used, the organisational structure of the company, the health and safety policies, and implementation, including skin care and healthcare provision.
Notes were taken during the visits, as well as a taped description of the observations and any discussions held. These tapes were later transcribed.
The transcriptions of the focus groups and observational studies were analysed by standard qualitative methods to identify common and related themes.10 The transcripts of the focus groups and observational studies were first annotated by marking up common themes. All information relevant to each theme was then identified and examined using the method of constant comparison, in which each item of information is checked and compared with the rest of the data to establish categories within themes. By repeating this process a "saturation" of themes is reached and the key issues and categories are defined.
It was clear from the focus groups and observational visits that the views of managers and health and safety officers differed significantly from those of print workers in a number of areas. It was evident that working practices did not always follow policy and the majority of workers interviewed did not perceive dermatitis to be a major problem. However, many complained of dry hands, a complaint that was corroborated when shaking hands with employees. Table 22 highlights some of the differences in opinion between managers and workers.
The results of the focus groups and observational visits could be grouped under a number of headings.
It was generally agreed that the most important health and safety issue was to ensure the print machines were running smoothly, all safety guards were in place, and that workers knew how to operate the machines in such a way as to prevent any physical injury to the worker. There was agreement about the processes and work practices within the industry that could give rise to skin problems, either by drying the skin out or removing oils from the skin. These included: the use of deletion fluid in plate making; solvent use to clean blankets; exposure to UV inks and light; exposure to starch based powder (used to prevent paper sticking together); handling of paper in finishing areas; use of harsh soaps and continual washing of hands; and not rinsing and drying hands thoroughly. However, occupational dermatitis was not perceived as a major priority in the printing industry, partly because it is not regarded as a litigation or compensation issue. Print workers were worried about their long term health resulting from continuous exposure to chemicals, particularly solvents, and would like more information on the chemicals used. Managers felt that the chemical suppliers should provide more practical information about possible harmful effects, over and above information required for the material safety data sheets. They felt that suppliers had a responsibility to their customers to provide this information and perhaps training packages also.
Health and safety arrangements varied between companies, with larger ones tending to have a specific individual responsible for the overall company health and safety, with representatives from the workforce in different areas of the company. The latter were the first point of contact when any problem or issue arose and also disseminated health and safety advice. However, in the UK the majority of printing companies are small‐to‐medium sized enterprises and do not have full‐time health and safety managers; usually a designated worker is responsible for health and safety.
Although risk assessments had been carried out within some of the companies, some print workers felt that sometimes no action was taken, and as a result management sometimes tolerated unsafe working practices. They also felt there was a tendency for companies to react to situations rather than being proactive.
There was disagreement regarding the provision and use of health and safety information. Managers felt that a lot of time and effort was taken to find out what was required with regard to all aspects of health and safety. This was then passed on to print workers as memorandums, leaflets, or by word of mouth. However, they felt that print workers would rarely read anything given to them. In contrast, print workers reported that very little information was distributed by managers, especially HSE literature, although this would be read especially if it was thought to be to their benefit. There was also often very little formal health and safety training.
Participants had seen very little information about skin problems within the printing industry. Printer workers, especially, stressed that more information on the health effects of working in the industry needed to be produced. However, the managers felt that the simple provision of information would only be a first step. The information needed to be incorporated into an effective training programme, which would require follow up and checking. Skin care is only a minor aspect of current health and safety training courses.
Print workers were open in their criticism of management whom they felt did not care and were not interested in their employees, and this was demonstrated through lack of information, induction training, and on‐the‐job training. Workers were told to "get on with it". Some drew attention to the benefits of a good supervisor who would provide training and advice on various issues, and would be prepared to take problems up with management.
In the UK, occupational health services are generally only provided by larger companies. Participants from companies who employed an occupational nurse and/or physician felt that this was an invaluable service, particularly for detecting problems early. Workers were also able to visit them on‐site, thereby reducing time off work. The service generally provided medical check‐ups and regular hearing tests, and also skin checks. First aiders were present in all companies but they were only trained to react to a situation rather than being proactive in promoting health and providing skin checks. All participants agreed that more occupational health provision would be desirable, and it was suggested that smaller companies could group together, perhaps through organisations like the BPIF, to obtain better access to occupational health.
Skin care was not generally a matter of concern to most of the print workers; few knew the symptoms of dermatitis, nor how to treat it or prevent it from recurring. Workers might complain of having dry hands, but tended to trivialise its significance and would accept it as "something that came with the job". Even when employees were aware of some of the potential causes of skin problems, work practices did not always reflect this knowledge. The issue of personal protective equipment was a major topic of discussion, with managers reporting that everything that was required was provided, including barrier and after‐work creams and gloves. However, not unexpectedly, this was not the view of the print workers.
Barrier creams were supplied by most companies, but both managers and printers tended to regard them as complete protection against chemicals. Some felt it was not culturally acceptable for a man to use them, although at one company printers were observed liberally rubbing cream into their hands and under their fingernails every time they walked past the container bucket. Some commented that they could cause irritation, especially those containing lanolin. Managers and print workers both agreed that their use aided the removal of ink from hands. After‐work creams and moisturisers were rarely provided by the companies and most printers did not use them or would admit to using them, again feeling their use was inappropriate for men. Some provided their own or used one at home. All printers said it would be helpful if the company provided a cream for use at the end of the day.
Gloves are used throughout the industry, but participants commented about the variability in the type and size provided, and their availability. Managers stated that print workers were advised on the type of glove to wear for specific tasks, but this advice was not always heeded, and also reported that gloves of various types, including linen, disposable latex surgical, heavier duty nitrile, etc were freely available in their companies for their employees to use, although some felt this policy was open to abuse by some workers. However, some managers admitted that they were not always sure a correct decision had been made on the appropriateness of gloves. It was unclear whether any of the companies had carried out an assessment of the correct glove for the different tasks, with most supplying surgical gloves and heavier nitrile gloves. The advice of their supplier was usually taken, although the supplier did not always know what chemicals were being used. Glove use was not generally enforced in companies.
Participating print workers reported wide variation on the availability of gloves. Some reported that they could always get a pair of gloves when required, as the store was always open and they were freely available. However, the majority reported that gloves were kept in a central store, which was not easily accessible, especially if the key holder was absent, particularly on night shifts. In some companies, the store was also remote from the print machines, so a print worker would have to leave his machine to obtain a new pair; a small supply was not provided near the machines. Print workers commented that there were occasions when the store had run out or did not have the correct size, and in these situations the printer would simply use an old pair or not use any at all. Often a variety of sizes were not provided. Printer workers also reported that companies might switch to a much cheaper glove than previously used, which could cause problems. However, many of the print workers agreed that the correct glove for a specific job was not always used even when the supply was good and the type available correct; many would select a disposable latex glove to wear as these made their tasks more dextrous.
At one company a printer was observed requesting a latex glove that he found comfortable to wear which was not the correct type of glove for the job he wished to undertake. No latex gloves were found and the printer was later seen wearing a heavier‐duty glove that was actually more suited to the task. If a short or urgent task was being undertaken, such as a quick clean of the blanket (used to transfer the print image from the plate to the paper) or plate, the worker would not bother to wear a glove if one was not conveniently available. It was observed that two men doing the same job (for example, cleaning a blanket) on the same machine might wear different types of glove. Some print workers did not wear any gloves at all, saying the chemicals had no effect on them, and that they did not suffer and skin problems. Managers commented that this was another area where education was required.
When using a gauntlet‐type glove some printers would roll the cuff up to prevent the blanket wash dripping down onto their forearms. It was also noticeable that at some companies gloves were equally dirty on the inside and outside. In addition, when gloves were removed, contamination of the skin occurred because one gloved hand would remove the first glove and then the bare hand would remove this glove. Print workers were also observed wearing only one glove to clean a machine while using the other hand to hold on as they leaned over the machine. Individuals were also observed leaning over to clean or service the machine, increasing the possibility that any spilt chemicals would get onto their clothes and soak through to react with the skin on their thighs and legs. A few print workers complained that some of their colleagues were bad "housekeepers"—that is, they did not clean up spillages before they finished working on a machine. At no company were gloves cleaned once a job was completed.
When handling paper in the printing and finishing areas, surgical or linen gloves were often worn to keep the paper clean. Some workers had cut the finger tips off the linen gloves and put rubber thimbles on to enable them to handle and sort large quantities of paper. However, the majority of workers in the finishing areas did not wear any gloves and were observed to have dry hands and many paper cuts. Individuals also said that dust got into the cuts and irritated the skin further.
Managers reported that gloves were sometimes overused, even when they contained holes. Workers who used latex gloves commented that they ripped easily, and chemicals tended to degrade the glove, causing holes to appear during lengthy tasks. As a result they sometimes wore two pairs at the same time, especially during tasks that required some degree of dexterity.
In a number of companies, the solvent based blanket wash for cleaning the machines was kept in an open bucket, and when required rags were dipped into the buckets, squeezed, and then used to clean the machines. Gloved hands were therefore immersed in the solvent, shortening the breakthrough time of the glove. In other companies, the cleaner was applied to a rag via a small flexible bottle. The buckets were filled from larger containers, usually by pouring with the potential for splashes to occur. Sometimes a hand pump was used. Similarly, the smaller bottles were either filled directly from larger ones, or by using a pump. Isopropyl alcohol (used as a dampening agent) was also poured from large containers into machine reservoirs in some situations, giving rise to the possibility of splashes occurring.
The soaps used varied between companies, but all workers said that the soaps had an added abrasive ingredient (for example, pumice, plastic beads, walnut shells) that facilitated the removal of ink, grease, oil, and other substances from the skin. One manager reported that his company had tested a variety of brands before they arrived at the one currently used, rejecting the harsher soap. Some companies supplied soaps that also contained a moisturiser. Some print workers preferred to use a mild soap and put up with the ink stains on their fingers. Bad practices were reported, as some printers were known to use the solvents to get the ink of their hands at the end of a shift, and then use an ordinary soap to wash their hands.
Washing facilities varied between companies. One company provided "stations" close to each print machine, but most participants reported that facilities were only available in the general washrooms that were often some distance from the machines. Printer workers commented that they would like facilities nearer to the workplace with taps that could be turned on and off without getting them dirty. Many preferred to use hand towels rather than electric dryers, because the latter tended to dry the skin out more.
This study has clearly demonstrated the necessity of carrying out an in‐depth exploration of the working practices, beliefs, and attitudes within a workforce before developing interventions for further testing. Box 1 highlights the problematic issues that would benefit from remediation.
Not surprisingly, as shown in table 22,, there was often disagreement about skin care provision and policy between managerial staff and the workforce. However, this was not universally the case and we did visit one or two companies that had successfully developed and implemented a skin care policy. This had been achieved through the collaboration between workforce, health and safety officers, and managerial staff. This included, for example, testing different skin care products and discussion with the workforce as to which was preferred, and provision of hand washing facilities close to machines.
There was general agreement that more information should be provided on these issues and should be simple but informative and made available to everyone.
Interestingly, there is quite a lot of detailed literature on the potential hazards, including chemicals, of working in the printing industry, much of it developed by the UK Health and Safety Executive and by chemical manufacturers. However, our study has demonstrated that this is either not reaching the workforce, or it is not being read. This highlights the need to research the most appropriate methods of communicating health and safety messages. For example, the use of posters and short leaflets could be considered in readily accessible and visible places. Education and training (initial and ongoing) was a major concern of all participants and provision of information is key to this.
The printing industry in the UK and many other countries generally consists of a large number of small and medium sized companies carrying out diverse processes, with many having fewer than 10 employees. Management structures thus vary, with responsibilities for health and safety, training, and education being more clearly defined and delineated as company size increases. Dermatitis is currently not seen as a priority within the printing industry, as this study has demonstrated, partly due to the higher priority given to more immediate hazards, for example from chemicals and machinery.
The study has also highlighted the advantages of developing partnerships with all stakeholders in order to integrate their perspectives3 and develop acceptable and practical risk reduction strategies. As a result of this study it was decided to evaluate the implementation of four interventions: Provision of (1) skin checks and treatment advice; (2) gloves of the correct type and size, and use of an after‐work cream; (3) information on dermatitis within the printing industry; and (4) development of a best practice skin care policy.
The results from the implementation phase are reported in a separate paper.11
The HSE currently has a target to reduce occupational health in the UK by 10% by 2008 and dermatitis is a focus health outcome. This study has identified many critical themes, beliefs, and challenges that will need to be addressed and overcome if this target is to be achieved.
The authors would like to acknowledge the assistance of the Graphical Paper and Media Union, British Printing Industries Federation, Printing Industry Advisory Council, Health and Safety Executive, and the companies who participated in the study.

The frequency dependence of the piezomagnetic strain coefficient (g33) has been investigated through Plane Wave Model characterisation of a Terfenol-D sample. It is found to have a frequency dependence of 1/√ω with a corresponding frequency dependent loss term. It is proposed that this frequency dependence in g33 is a consequence of the mechanical defects in the material which affect the magnetic properties of the material through the magnetomechanical coupling k33

The fractional concentration of nitric oxide (FENO) in exhaled breath is a noninvasive marker of airway inflammation in asthma. The precise role of FENO in the asthma management algorithm has not been defined. However, there are compelling data for use of FENO for diagnosing asthma, assessing control and severity, titrating inhaled corticosteroids, and detecting ongoing airway inflammation. This article reviews the biology of nitric oxide in airway pathology and its role in asthma.

Aussie, N.Z. Dollars Rise Amid Jobless Decline, ECB Bond Plan
The Australian dollar gained for the first time in four days versus its U.S. counterpart after the country's jobless rate unexpectedly declined in August on signs employers in mining states are still hiring workers.
New Zealand's dollar and the Aussie rose versus most of their major peers after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said policy makers had agreed on an unlimited debt-buying program, bolstering appetite for higher-yielding assets. Australia's unemployment rate fell to 5.1 percent, from 5.2 percent in July. The median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey was for an increase to 5.3 percent.
"The Australian dollar is defying gravity in the face of the deterioration in the U.S. and global manufacturing cycle," Kit Juckes, London-based head of foreign-exchange research at Societe Generale SA, wrote yesterday in a note to clients.
Australia's currency appreciated 0.9 percent to $1.0284 yesterday in New York after earlier rising as much as 1.1 percent, its biggest increase since Aug. 2. It climbed 1.5 percent to 81.10 yen and reached 81.31 yen.
New Zealand's dollar, nicknamed the kiwi, rose 0.9 percent to 80.15 U.S. cents. The kiwi gained 1.5 percent to 63.20 yen.
The Standard & Poor's GSCI Index of 24 raw materials advanced 0.5 percent. The S&P 500 Index climbed 2 percent, the most since Aug. 3.

V4L2VD Home Page
I think I heard mention of this project during a recent episode of the FLOSS podcast a couple of weeks ago, and thought that it was an interesting idea, so remembered to track it down this morning. The basic idea is to provide a "loopback" device for video. You could write a program which can send out video frames, which are then read by any device that can read from v4l2 devices (like mplayer or mencoder). I have a couple of ideas for how this could be fun.
Sadly, typing "make" didn't have the desired effect on my "Jaunty Jackalope" machine, and looking back, it seems that it hasn't had an update since March 2008. It's probably a fairly minor thing. I'll try to work out the details later, and see if I can get it going.
Addendum: Some more playing around yielded some new links of interest. The
v4l2vd project mentioned the older vloopback, which is mostly unsupported, but which is apparently tagging along with the motion project, which does software motion detection on webcams (and notably v4l devices). You can find the software and such here, including a test application which accepts video from one device, and writes it back out to another.
I got onto this stuff by looking at the flashcam project, which I found while trying to find something like ustream that could run on Linux.
Progress in number theory in the years 1998-2009
Dan Piponi passed along the following link to a nice paper summarizing the major results in number theory of the last decade or so. It's mostly over my head (Dan is substantially smarter than I) but pretty interesting nonetheless. [1010.2484] Progress in number theory in the years 1998-2009.

|Check-in before
The appartment was amazingly beautiful and perfectly clean. The landlords are the loveliest couple you can imagine and they were also really helfull. Thanks a million!
Our stay there was nice. We had a great time. The Charles' Bridge is very near and the castle too. We didn't need any public transport. The place is busy but the windows are at the back and it was quiet. The flat is dark and the stairs are hard to climb with luggage. But our host brought them for us. Thanks.
The Positano Elegant Terrace was just that. We loved this place. We would love to live here! Everyone was so helpful with picking us up at the train and on the way on to Venice they drove us in to Naples to catch the train. This was our favorite place in the three weeks we stayed in Italy. It was heaven and the perfect honeymoon spot. Will definitely want to stay in one of their places again.
Awful! This apartment is managed by Interhome agency, and there is one surprise provided by them - cleaning fee. Then you are choosing a room you do not see any mentions about addition costs - only after reservation. We realized that we had to pay extra 66 EUR after getting booking confirmation.
It is a little bit unpleasantly, but then we came there we saw an absolutely dirty apartment - all the surfaces was covered with dust. And this is is AFTER 66 EUR cleaning! We spent a half oh a day to clean everything by ourselves.
More than that - there was not any blankets there. We asked a charwoman to bring us at least one, she promised to come with them in the evening but did not come and did not bring any.
We was needed to sleep under thin cover for sofa, and it was quite cold.
After all this they took money for cleaning from my credit card without my agreement and did not answer my mails with photos of dust in their apartment.
Don't book anything from Interhome!
Very nice, wellplanned, clean and nice villa. Big and well equipted kitchen.
Apartment was nice, very clean, spacious, quiet even though located on a big street and generally up to standard. Overground and Bus Stops very close, Underground stop can be reached by bus or walking easily. Few small issues (key for one of the windows missing, toilet seat broken, plastic bit of toilet flush falling down, bathroom pipe slightly leaking) but overall this apartment can definitely be recommended. HOWEVER, be aware that the key has to be picked up somewhere else (close to Camden Road Overground Station - so not far from the apartment) and you can't get the keys for the apartment at the apartment itself.
The apartment isn't bad, but it's impossible to stay in 6 persons, max 5.
The clear isn' good. So it's very strategic position in the town.
the apartment is really well placed, right in the centre of Prague; you need just a minute to reach the old town square by walk, passing through one of the most turistic street of the city.
The guys at the reception did a good job, letting us enter our rooms some hours before the check-in time.
The apartment was really nice and well furnished, with everything necessary (i think more than necessary!!) for the trip: tiny but complete kitchen, living room with big tv, internet connection and so on...
We just had some troubles to sleep at night dued to some drunk hooligans lodged in our building that passed whole nights ringing every door bell in the palace, shouting, slamming doors and elevator cabin, from 4 to 6 a.m.; unfortunately non-smart people is everywhere...but this has nothing to do with the accomodation that has been really comfortable.
Everything was Great Perfect Location, Really Clean only reason i give it 4 Stars is the wifi in our room.. Well there wasn't any. Other then that it was Greeat Would Def stay here again
Everything was perfect! Really nice apartment and the location was really good. the aprtment was very clean and fresh and it included all things that you needed. Good kitchen-equipment, free internet and nice furnishing.
